European Economic
and Social Committee
Improving the framework for sustainable finance
In the process of building a more sustainable and resilient economy after the economic shock caused by COVID-19, it is crucially important to redirect investment flows. When making investment decisions, we have to increasingly take due account of environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations, alongside the calculations on financial returns. To support this transition, we need further improvements in the framework for sustainable finance.
The conference will take stock of what has been achieved so far in the EU in the field of sustainable finance, will discuss upcoming initiatives, and will come up with policy recommendations.
